	Pipeline
		Occasionally a commission is appointed to examine a particular issue, as was the case for the MACKENZIE VALLEY PIPELINE where environmental and land claims posed difficult problems.
		Pipeline construction has been politically controversial with debate raging about many major lines.
		However, the construction of the NORMAN WELLS pipeline, which follows the MacKenzie River for 520 km, was completed with little objection.

		Pipeline mileage has grown 10 percent in the last 10 years, but it's growing at the very same time that the nation's suburbanization continues to bring more families near more pipelines.
		In 1996 and '97, the pipeline operator conducted in-line inspection of the pipeline which indicated the presence of anomalies in the area of the subsequent rupture.
		In the April 2000 pipeline accident near the Chalk Point Electric Power Generating Station inMaryland, the pipeline operator for over one hour after the first indication of abnormal operation of metering instruments for monitoring the pipeline were not functioning during a maintenance operation that was on-going at the time.

	Pipeline Debate
		The Pipeline Debate, 8 May-6 June 1956, was one of the most famous confrontations in Canadian parliamentary history.
		Liberal Minister of Trade and Commerce C.D. decided that a PIPELINE to carry natural gas from Alberta to central Canada was a national necessity.
		The debate, however, discredited Howe and the Liberals, and contributed to their defeat in the 1957 general election.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - US signs pipeline safety into law
		Pipelines in more urbanized areas are to be checked within the first 5 years of enactment.
		The pipeline safety measure "reassures those who live or work near pipelines, and all Americans, that the government and industry will be taking even greater steps to ensure their safety," said Ben Cooper, executive director of the Association of Oil Pipe Lines.
		Since that time, a pipeline safety reauthorisation bill passed the Senate numerous times, failed in the House once, passed on another go-round, stalled in conference committee for several months and eventually was approved by both houses of Congress in November," said AGA.

		Many of us in computer science are aware of the pipeline shrinkage problem; the pipeline represents the ratio of women involved in computer science from high school to graduate school.
		In addition to the pipeline shrinking from high school to graduate school, the pipeline also shrinks at the bachelor's level.
		Since the number of women at the bachelor's level affects the number of women at levels higher in the pipeline and in the job market, these facts are of great concern.

	Tighter pipeline safeguards have been slow in coming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Since that explosion, federal spending on pipeline safety has doubled, the number of federal pipeline inspectors has dramatically increased, fines against the industry are rising and a new administration has set a goal of making sharp reductions in the number of pipeline accidents.
		The Bellingham pipeline had been inspected in several ways before the explosion, and federal investigators are now trying to determine why those inspections didn't reveal the risk of an explosion.
		The Office of Pipeline Safety says it is about to adopt training rules, that the frequency of inspections should be based on the amount of risk associated with a particular stretch of pipeline and that automatic shutoff valves are still being studied.

		The future of the pipeline will be getting an even closer look over the next year as governments consider renewal of the 30-year lease for the land it crosses.
		When the pipeline was first proposed a generation ago, it touched off impassioned debate about the environmental impact of resource development in the wilderness of Alaska.
		In the 24 years since the pipeline began operating, the caribou population has thrived and heat transfer units atop the pipeline's pilings protect the permafrost.

	Pipeline Cowboys: Rustling for oil - NI 361 - Moths to the flame
		The Caño Limón-Coveñas pipeline is their most frequent target, striking a substantial blow to the country’s economy.
		For both the left-wing guerrillas and the right-wing paramilitaries, oil is the fuel that keeps them – and their violence – alive, providing them with part of the money they need to remain armed and viable.
		Insiders say that the FARC bombings shut the pipeline down for 220 days in 2001 to force the ELN to share more of the pipeline proceeds that it had been successfully extorting from local government.

	Pipeline Debate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pipeline Debate (May 8 to June 6, 1956) was one of the pivotal moments in the history of the Parliament of Canada.
		The parliamentary debate on the issue was focused on two issues: that a consortium that was owned by American interests required government loans to cover the extra costs incurred by building the long route and whether involving American businesses in the construction would inevitably lead to the government surrendering the pipleline to American control.
		The social democratic CCF wanted the pipeline to be entirely owned by the government as it was sure to be profitable given the demand for gas in Eastern Canada.

	Breakthroughs unlikely in Sino-Russian pipeline talks
		Major breakthroughs are unlikely in the Sino-Russian pipeline talks in the new year, even though both governments have vowed to advance bilateral energy co-operation, experts suggest.
		Experts suggest uncertainties will continue to shroud the pipeline projects even after the election, as major hurdles in the negotiations cannot be removed in the near future.
		As the Sino-Russian pipeline is also being threatened by a competing route to the Pacific coast, proposed by Japan, experts said the pipeline debate is far more than an issue of economics.

		Beyond the interruptions, the debate addressed issues such as bringing younger residents to Lansing, the Wolverine Pipe Line project that could build a gas line through the city and the living-wage executive order issued by Benavides.
		On the pipeline project, which would install a new gasoline pipeline through Lansing if the company wins its case before the Michigan Supreme Court, Benavides suggested that Bernero has not stated clearly whether he is for or against the pipeline.
		But Copedge said the debate was necessary for Lansing residents to get further perspective on the candidates' views and ideas.

		A gas pipeline will only produce a fraction of the projected deficit, and though it is a large fraction the revenue could not be 'on stream' until 2010 or later.
		Unfortunately the northern pipeline debate has been infused with so much rhetoric that it is hard for northerners or anyone else to understand what's really going on, or more importantly, to understand the context in which critical decisions will be made in the coming weeks.
		Simply, the gas pipeline situation--influenced by US trade policy, ANWR and terrorism travails--must be addressed by President Bush and Prime Minister Chrétien along with their smartest advisors, beginning a new dialogue with no preconceived outcome.

	The Prime Ministers of Canada - Louis St. Laurent Biography
		The necessity to finish debate before the upcoming election, coupled by financial pressure from Trans-Canada Pipelines Ltd. compelled the Liberals, under PM St. Laurent, to impose closure at each stage of debate on the bill.
		Long years in power by the members of St. Laurent's government eventually led to a perceived attitude of arrogance, symbolized by the bitter pipeline debate of 1956.
		In order to begin construction on the Trans-Canada pipeline, the Liberals invoked closure, an act that many Canadians felt was an abuse of Parliament.

		As peace becomes more uncertain, the Turkish delegations have intensified their efforts to push the oil pipeline between Baku in Azerbaijan and Supsa in Georgia as a means of transporting early oil from the Caspian.
		Compromise must replace competition in the pipeline interests, otherwise a more provoked Caucasus will bring poverty and bloodshed to everyone in the region, with no clear winner-including the real masters of these oil and gas-rich areas of the world.

		It was to be the second greatest pipeline debate in Canadian history, and the second one to challenge the ruling Liberal party of the day.
		Subsequently the petro-economy went through a tail spin downward in the 1980's allowing for the pipeline which was put on hold to be forgotten, and in the intervening years new deals were struck with Northern communities and peoples for self government as Berger had recommended.
		The original opposition to the Pipeline was over Native Rights and self government, as well as its environmental impact.The first nations issue was resolved by the Berger commission and today the first nations are full partners in development.

		Much of the debate has focused on the results of a 1996 water supply study conducted by the Kentucky Water Research Institute at the University of Kentucky.
		Based on the data provided to KWRI at the time of the study, it was determined that either the installation of temporary crest gates on dams 9 through 14 or the construction of a dam on a tributary to the Kentucky River were the two most cost-effective solutions.
		Much of the public debate around these various alternatives has polarized around two alternatives: the treated-water pipeline from the Ohio River at Louisville, Ky. and the installation of temporary crest gates on the Kentucky River.
